The casino dept at msc is my favorite to work with. When working with clients on issues,they are the fastest and able to fix most things in one call

I've done yacht Club afew times. Use the escort service around the ship. Saves you time and headache with some of the crowded areas

I'm assuming many have cancelled so it maybe at a reduced passenger load

I'm on that same ship early August. Waiting for final word too

I love yacht club.

The attention to detail everywhere on the ship is amazing. It's so clean, yet you don't see tons of cleaning people

There’s a reason it is not allowed on airplanes.

They are allowed in carry on bags, but use is prohibited. Checked bags they are banned, but any large battery is.

I also keep them properly stored when not in use to lower any risk

Kinda figured, but thought I'd check as fire risk from falling ashesv was none.

Thanks

I know smoking isn’t allowed due to fire potential. Do they allow vaping? It would be nice to have one there instead of always going to a smoking area.

 

Thanks

Hello.  I'm looking at giving the Haven a try after coming from MSC Yacht Club.  I had acouple of questions.

 

1) does NCL do any status matching?

2) Is the alcohol package ship wide or just the haven

3) Is there anyone who has done both that can comment on the service levels?

 

Thanks

 

We’ve been a big MSC fan and are looking at doing the Viking West Indies cruise this December.  I talked to my travel agent and it sounds quite nice.  I asked her about a drink package and she saw one that was $200 for the 10 day cruise.  This seems amazingly inexpensive.  Does anyone know what this includes?  Are there different tiers or are they just that much less than the other lines?

 

Thanks so much

I'm on right now and they have changed the policy. Maybe they listened to my comments after my cruise in March

Totally agree - see u on board - we are doing a B2B beginning on the 8th of December in the YC

Sounds great.  It looks like you’ll be there with your partner, based on your photo.  My partner is from Toronto, and is usually in a hockey jersey.  So if you see that, or acouple of bears wandering around YC, say hi 🙂

personally we did not experience this - i understand that now the entire outdoor area of the Top Sail is all smoking section - i rarely have seen anyone there and cannot see what the issue would be to enjoy a cigar in this area....

 

what week are u sailing?

Dec 15 is our week.  I may just do that and see what they say.  It wasn’t used that much and the area where they had it designated was always so full.  And even there, people would complain.  It was quite frustrating.  You have 99% of the boat smoke free.  Let me enjoy a cigar in 1% of it.

MSC has designated cigar areas.  It makes no sense to me.  Drove me nuts when they sold great cigars in Top Sail and I had to go half way across the ship to enjoy them.

I sailed Seaside YC in March and am doing it again in acouple of weeks.  At that time, they sold cigars in YC but there wasn't any area in YC to smoke cigars.  I had made some comments to the concierge, as well as on the survey afterwards about that.  Has anyone that sailed recently know if they added cigar smoking to the smoking area on the YC deck?

 

I hope this doesn't turn into a smoking discussion.  This is just a simple question.  If you don't like smoking/cigars/etc.. please don't comment.

 

Thanks

We always bring extension cords.. never had an issue with them.. I do love the idea about the magnetic hooks.. going to steal that one for our cruises in Dec and Jan :)

Im in Yacht club starting tomorrow the 10th , i will have no issue saying something straight to the parents , i know kids are unpredictable , but if it becomes a issue i have no issue then it will be come intreresting lol

 

They have every right to vacation , but if they are screaming and the parent isnt handling it thats the problem

 

I guess we will see

I'm also in YC starting on the 10th. I'm hoping its a quiet cruise on that front as well :) I'm a big guy (6'6" 300#) so maybe we'll run into each other in top sail.

So we're going on the Seaside next week. How is the Casino? I haven't seen too many posts about it. How are the slots? Is it bigger than the Davina and Splendida ones?

does anyone know if there’s a smoking area in YC that allows cigar smoking? I was a bit disappointed to find out there is no cigar lounge on the boat after booking, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to enjoy some cigars in the outdoor spaces in YC.

How much was the straight flush worth? :cool:

$1200 :cool:

6). Avoid the slots in the casino. The worst payouts I have seen at sea. Did much better at Atlantis and money went a lot further.

I can't agree with this more.. the slots at the casino were horrible.. Only thing that saved me was a straight flush playing ultimate texas holdem. And then, when I went to cash my chips in, they made me feel like a criminal. Verified the chips had been added to my account, then they called the pit boss to make sure I was really the winner, then 2 people had to be called over to verify the payout.. Never had that done at any casino before.

Hello. I'm doing the Yacht Club on the Speldidida in November and had a question on laundry service.. I thought I had read somewhere it was included with YC. Is that the case? Trying to plan some for packing for the trip and that would make a difference for us.

 

Thanks

I always bring a small extension cord whenever I travel, just in case

Houston. On Saturday actually :)
